For sure. I've noticed MLB teams in general the past three years or so have been very weary of handing out large contracts. Certainly there are exceptions for exceptional players, but the days of marginal stars getting huge contracts without showing consistency, seem to be temporarily on pause. It's good to see. In Vlad's case I'd say there's little market for an 8 year offer out there. Maybe there won't even be a 5 year one. Which puts the advantage for the Jays in negotiations. Bo seems to be one of those guys who are among the best at their positions and relatively young, and consistent, where I worry he'll get a huge offer and leave. He holds all the cards. But getting back to the market in general, really looks like GMs aren't being pushed by Boras anymore.
